The Armenian opposition will hold its next rally in Yerevan on July 8, ARF Armenia chair and opposition leader Ishkhan Saghatelyan said, addressing protesters in central France Square on Friday evening.
In advance of the rally, a march is scheduled for July 5 marked as Constitution Day in Armenia.
Saghatelyan reiterated the opposition movement aimed at toppling PM Nikol Pashinyan “is not dying down”.
“We are going to give fresh impetus to the movement. We are doing a great deal of work, the results of which will be visible soon. The outcome of this struggle is important for us,” the leader said.
Also, he denounced the authorities for military call-up of several dozen opposition activists being held in custody, including 2020 war participant Taron Manukyan.
Saghatelyan says the move indicates that the Armenian leadership is “terrified” by the opposition movement.
